The ground feels harder than before your body got used to the trampoline. It's like the feeling you describe here, only the complete opposite.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336759808733582204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152270.post-53514376384609995302007-09-30T14:35:00.000-05:002007-09-30T14:35:00.000-05:00Sorry for the ambiguity.

I'm also not running any more distance per week.Stuart Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05731724396708879386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152270.post-13716838502093601962007-09-29T18:57:00.000-05:002007-09-29T18:57:00.000-05:00There may be some attribution bias/error in your d...There may be some attribution bias/error in your determination that the shoes ("It's gotta be the shoes!" channeling the old Nike commercials) that are making you faster. You note that you were doing some speedwork, and I infer you may not have been doing that previously. The speedwork may have more to do with it than the shoes. High intensity intervals/repeats not only improve your max VO2 (the amount that your lungs can handle), but also increase your leg strength, improve your cadence, can lengthen your stride, and just flat out enable you to run faster for a longer period of time.<BR/><BR/>You may also be running with more frequency.<BR/><BR/>Just some considerations. I've been using the Nike Free shoes, and they have similar "it's like running on barefeet" attributes.ckstevensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06870302406467697102noreply@blogger.com
